Boy stabbed protecting girlfriend

SAN DIEGO - A 17-year-old boy was stabbed in the arm while
fighting off a group of men who tried to take his girlfriend's
purse in Golden Hill, a San Diego police sergeant said Friday.

The youth was in his home in the 1900 block of 30th Street and
his girlfriend was outside shortly before 11 Thursday night when
three or four men got out of a van and tried to take the girl's
purse, said SDPD Sgt. Rich Nemetz.

The boy ran outside and fought with the men, and was stabbed in
the arm, Nemetz said.
